Alive day and night, the award winning SPPARC designed Borough Yards reimagines the High Street for the future.
Come join this 90-minute tour lead by Trevor Morriss, principal of SPPARC, who will take you around this fascinating new area.
This riverside London location is all about historic, cultural and local connections. Borough Yards’ imaginative engineering reinstates the evocatively named Dirty Lane. This revived 17th century thoroughfare leads foot-traffic from Tate Modern and South Bank to this new urban district and through to London Bridge station in a matter of minutes.
The once divisive Victorian brick railway viaducts have been opened up to allow for pedestrian lanes to restore and rejuvenate an important part of London’s Victorian railway heritage.
The project sensitively intertwines the new building additions with the historic architecture of the site, using innovative brickwork to both subtly and boldly connect the old with the new by transforming a series of formerly disused warehouses, arches, and viaducts into highly innovative and attractive cultural, retail, restaurant, and workspace places to define the successful experiential high street of the future.
